ira, 81 40di 20; SuperfiIfe, 81 SOFAS.
WHEAT-To-day being holiday there is no
session of the Produce Exchange, and business
is generally suspended The market closed yes
terday at steady and strong prices, without any
movement of magnitude. Exporters are willing
to pay 81 471SCd1 30 q ctl for standard quality,
but most holders are disposed to keep back stock
IN hope of better prices. AS consequence, the
volume of offerings is notably limited.
BARLEY-The market is not active in char
acter Prices are somewhat more settled, and
dealers do not look for any very marked fiuctu-
atious for a week ut least. Feed that can be
classed as No. grade is quotable at S1@l G212 z
ctl and jobbing business Is transacted at this
range In Brewing there is scarcely any move
ment though offerings are somewhat more lib
eral. Maltsters do not care to stack up much
before the LIST of March, as by delay the payment
of taxes is avoided. The quotable range for
brewing is 81 106l Is = ell.
OATS-Ihe D,arket is sluggish in tone Offer
ngs are free but trade is slow and the situa-
ton is rather against sellers We q tote as fol-

POTATOES-As general remark the market
can be said to be in good shape for sellers. All
stock of good quality is i'll demand, and sales are
prompt and at full figures. There are. however,
many lots of small Rivers lying around that can
not be placed at the low asking price of 81 p ctl

FRUIT-Eight carload of o anges arrived 10
day. The demand is fair, though The inquiry
is more general for the better qualities, even at
higher prices. Apples are in good request, and
a strictly choice article brings full figures.

IIONEY-No wholesale movement. There is,
however, a fair jobbing trade in progress. Light
stocks of white and ezra white give strength to
prices Tor these descriptions With dark grades
The market is literally supplied. with prices
rather in favor of buyers. We quote New
Comb, I2@ltc p b for choice and 6@sc for
common: new bright extracted 41@Ca5c.
BUTTER-The bad condition of the roads
during the late rains detained more or less But
ter at dairies, thus giving dealers opportunity
TO clean up stocks Receipts, however, will
become larger now that fair weather prevails.
Further shipments East are not considered
likely as prices ruling in those distant m +rkets
will not justify the sending of product hence.
Thus possible avenue for dsposal of surplus
is closed. Fancy, 29c; good to choice, l7a1 c;

CiIEESE-Is coming in more freely, and the
market is better supplied than in some time.
Prices are lower and the tendency is still down
wards Quotable at 15Gl6l2c z 70 for choice
and l21%al5c for fair to good quality.
EGGS-Suppies are larger than the demand,
and the market shows pronounced declining
tendency. The fact that Eastern consignments
are on the way. and offered to arrive at lSgl9c
2 dozen, helps to further weaken the situation
At this season of the year the Eastern artie e
compares favorably with home product, and
prices in distant markets govern TO some extent
the quotations for California stock: Co1sigh-
ments direct from the henuery might at the
moment sell by thesingle box 1T 23c, but Gus
tom at this figure is limited Coed qualities are
freely offered at 21a22c, while stock that WAS
pressed on the market is said to have sold as low
as zoe z dozen. -,
POULTRY-The Turkey market is democrat,
lied. owing to excessive supply. Both live ana
dressed stock are about equally well represent
ed and BUYERS have their own way in regard 10
